I'm watching the concert for hurricane relief on NBC tonight. It is absolutely heartwrenching watching this footage of Mississippi, of New Orleans. Today a friend and I shared the sentiment of how sad it is that we'd never been to New Orleans, and now, well, it will never be what it was. Never.
I am thankful that I and the people I love are safe and provided for- it is something I should not take for granted. I am thankful for a job that pisses me off sometimes, but keeps a roof over my head, keeps me laughing, keeps me fed (too much, it would seem.) Ha ha. I am thankful for 3 days to be off, as I have been needing time to step back, to rest physically, mentally, emotionally. But who cares about a 3-day weekend when so many are without, so many are hurting. Yes, I need time off - my emotions are too raw to have to be in front of kids all day. This week, the nightly news has taken so much out of us, hasn't it? It is all just so sad. Good grief, I'm crying now from the images, the stories. What do you say to such suffering?
